SAMPLES:
If you are new to this name, I wouldnt be ashamed or feel like you were sleeping. This man is primarily known in Spain. I didn't know who he was until I saw his name in a list as one of the greatest singer's in Spain. His artist name is unique "Pedro Ruy Blas"
BUT that isn't what drew me in. That's cool but what is he singing? Why am I going to spend time looking up his work? Why do people worship this man?
What i found out is Pedro Ruy had a pop/rock beginning, he sang the sound of the day and he put out a few single's. But what he did after that was remarkable. He formed a ensemble called "DOLORES"
Dolores is quite something & speaks to the chaotic creative times Spain was throttled to. Some might say prog rock, but i would say that is being lazy. Encompassing jazz-funk-flamenco-afrolatin and using various electric instrumentation, it is quite the revelation to hear this for the first time. You get a glimpse to Spain's majesty for their music scene in the 70's. Using a spring board of likely influences: Miles, Herbie,Genesis,Weather Report,Yes, perhaps Zappa some flamenco singers of their era, just a very unique sound.
Another unique thing about Pedro is, he's an accomplished drummer. Which means, when this band would do live gig's, he would play the drums and sing!
There's a lot to like in these 4 record's, each one has their unique style & flair. Dolores should be remembered and even though he sings in spanish, you are going to feel what he's singing.
Amazing musicians/amazing instrumentation/great arrangements/
These 4 records I am presenting to you are out of print and hopefully in your library with this post.

Ive heard about this film. It does look interesting.
Man, is this group amazing
This one here will hook you, regarded as one of the greatest vocalists in Spain. Playing the drums with that shuffle & singing like that. Goat group, goat run for their country. All records collected for the fam, with all artwork grabbed off discogs. 😭
some of you are missing out, this is 4 lp’s out of print of this fantastic group that i put together for drop fam. 😒basically their whole run, very different & ahead of their time. highly suggested, amazing instrumentation, it’s only on youtube. what a tragedy.
here’s a song to show you how ridiculous this band is:
this s*** is crazy for 1976. @BIGGWAVE and that’s just one 2 minute track of this legendary band
the instrumentation 8 vocals, fam. jesus .....😭

S*** was amazing huh
@localblaccmane @danny @doves @proper @deadac
I forgot to mention this one.
This really is one of the greatest groups, birthed in a volatile revolution and just insane energy. Amazing singer & his drumming abilities are through the roof. Pedro is the truth. I can’t imagine him live on stage singing this while playing the drums, but that’s what he did in performances. 😳
S*** was amazing huh
Yea, I remember seeing the footage of Sly on YouTube and was like "what the hell is this? where did they get this?"
They tried to evaporate the history.
Speaking of Festivals did you ever see California Jam?
That Earth Wind & Fire footage
The bill

@TFM
this is so crazy
@safe now this one when I discovered this guy, I was like "wtf, this man just leaped off the mountain with no idea if there was a body of water. . 4 lp's all out of print.
Damn shame these lp's are not streaming on Spotify or apple. The first song had me hooked on this group.
you mf’s don’t know, this band is the truth. i’m bringing it back from the edge of time to let you know the greatness of this. bruh, this singer is regarded - he’s the muhammad ali of vocals - when you hear this so ahead or it’s time. Not to mention the singer is also one of the baddest drummer. You name the drummer, he’s up there with these 4 lp’s
i
when i heard his bio i was like “ wtf how did this guy create this” 🤯
158 minutes 4 lp’s one non album single, all out of print - you can dl it or stream it. you hit play and it plays one lp after the other. for some reason streaming services won’t put them up - that’s okay because you can use the consulting streaming service
😎
all this work with the click of one button.
one of the biggest travesties in music most people will never get to hear this band.
so much greatness in these 5 members

@Thread_Critic_PhD this is a great one. i discovered this guy on accident in a greatest of spain list
and then i heard about Dolores & was like “ what the heck is this? “ How on earth did Polydor let them make these records? 😨
so many moments & that’s why i put it up. btw, i changed the dl link it’s now the same as streaming link. both have all the tracks pedro ruy blas & dolores released together. btw new drop tomorrow 😎
